ALL-STAR Women In Sport: A Coloring & History Book
Written & Illustrated by Marigny deMauriac
Book details:
There are countless women we never learn about in history class. Their accomplishments have been stifled, stolen or simply ignored. For centuries women were kept from watching sports: barred from attending the Ancient Olympic games under penalty of death. Women could not compete in the Olympic marathon until 1984 because there were concerns that it would make women infertile, a baseless claim stemming from a deeply rooted, false narrative of feminine fragility. Women athletes now cope with less pay, less funding for training programs and facilities, less media coverage, gender discrimination in the form of misperceptions of women's physical capacity or femininity...The list goes on and on. Despite formidable obstacles, women continue to be game changers in sport and deserve to be celebrated as such.
ALL-STAR Women In Sport is a coloring & history book which consists of a series of black and white portraits of women athletes from Abby Wambach to Serena Williams, along with inspiring quotes and sports history to empower the women in your life.
This is the first volume of Marigny's Women In Sport series.
A woman's place is in the revolution.
